But that is the case in the governor's race in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no question about the front-runner. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, former San Francisco mayor, has led in every poll. But that doesn't affect just his fellow Democrats.

The top two finishers, regardless of party, go head-to-head in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The great fear among Republicans is that they could be shut out entirely.

It looks like they'll be fighting for the same dwindling pool of conservative voters until primary day, decreasing their chances of making the runoff. Delegate Karen Roseberry found that prospect alarming and begged the delegates to reconsider. There is so much more at stake, she said, than just the governor's race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every down-ticket race is counting on this,\" she said. \"We need a top-2 finisher in November, and that comes when the party is united.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those down-ticket races worrying Roseberry include at least half a dozen vulnerable Republican House seats. If Democrats can grab those, it would help them tip the balance of power in Congress. No one knows what the impact on Republican turnout will be if there are only Democrats to choose from in the California governor's race. But Republicans are hoping they won't have a chance to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Allen tries to make up for it with boundless confidence and by touting his early and passionate support for Donald Trump, whom Cox did not vote for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did we take back our country in 2016?\" Allen asked to the cheers of the crowd. \"Are you ready to take back our state in 2018?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, neither Allen nor Cox could muster enough support to win the party's endorsement. It looks like they'll be fighting for the same dwindling pool of conservative voters until primary day, decreasing their chances of making the runoff. Delegate Karen Roseberry found that prospect alarming and begged the delegates to reconsider. There is so much more at stake, she said, than just the governor's race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every down-ticket race is counting on this,\" she said. \"We need a top-2 finisher in November, and that comes when the party is united.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those down-ticket races worrying Roseberry include at least half a dozen vulnerable Republican House seats. If Democrats can grab those, it would help them tip the balance of power in Congress. No one knows what the impact on Republican turnout will be if there are only Democrats to choose from in the California governor's race. But Republicans are hoping they won't have a chance to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>It was, as one political observer \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/527130884508377088\" target=\"_blank\">called it\u003c/a>, the \"meh election\" in California -- a mismatch in the state's marquee race, a nasty and largely confusing fight over health care initiatives, and an electorate both a little gloomy about the future ... but mostly unwilling to cast a vote for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there was history made on Tuesday night. Voters put Edmund G. Brown Jr. in the history books as the only person to ever be elected governor of California four times. The 76-year-old Brown handily beat his newcomer GOP challenger almost four decades to the day after he first won the office in 1974. And Democrats, even in a year when Republicans were more energized, managed to largely dominate all the important contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A look at the big takeaways -- five in all -- from a California election that, well, may not be that memorable in the years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Everything's Coming Up Jerry\u003c/strong>: The state's unconventional governor has had his ups and downs, but it's hard to see a downside as the final votes are counted in this election. A thumping of Republican Neel Kashkari, a resounding victory for the two ballot measures -- Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 -- that he urged voters to approve, and at least a gentle breeze of a good economy at his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I take the opportunity and the responsibility very seriously,\" Brown told reporters in his brief Q&A Tuesday night in Sacramento. This, after a very low-key private dinner (takeout, natch) inside the historic governor's mansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor has a pretty good take on the California electorate, and so how he envisions this final term as chief executive will be the biggest story in state government in 2015 ... and perhaps beyond. Tax reform? More changes to public employee pensions? Expanded improvements to the state's infrastructure? Or just more of what he's already done on water, public safety realignment and education changes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Second Straight Shutout\u003c/strong>: If this were \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> the answer would be, \"Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve Poizner.\" The question, of course: Who were the last two Republicans elected statewide in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unofficial election returns suggest 2006 will remain the last time a Republican won statewide office. Tuesday night's buzz of possible wins in the races for state controller and secretary of state faded by the stroke of midnight -- races where Republicans seemed to have a real shot at some statewide visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a numerical disadvantage,\" state GOP Vice Chair Harmeet Dhillon said on KQED Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True, but Republican leaders -- and big donors -- focused more of their energies in the fall election on legislative and congressional races, seeing those contests as the best way to refocus a party that's widely seen as having lost its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>First Loss For Indian Gaming\u003c/strong>: The defeat of Proposition 48 -- a shellacking, in non-technical terms -- was the first time California voters have rejected a ballot measure in support of either new tribal gaming or expanded tribal gaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 48, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/09/proposition-48-north-fork-rancheria-casino-madera-county\" target=\"_blank\">a referendum on the state's approval of a Madera County casino project\u003c/a>, was portrayed as a potential precedent for other tribes seeking new land for gaming. In elections in 1998, 2000 and 2008, voters backed Indian casino propositions. Not this time, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 48 even appeared to have lost in Madera County, where the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians had believed it had strong local support for its casino project.

Voters put Edmund G. Brown Jr. in the history books as the only person to ever be elected governor of California four times. The 76-year-old Brown handily beat his newcomer GOP challenger almost four decades to the day after he first won the office in 1974. And Democrats, even in a year when Republicans were more energized, managed to largely dominate all the important contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A look at the big takeaways -- five in all -- from a California election that, well, may not be that memorable in the years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Everything's Coming Up Jerry\u003c/strong>: The state's unconventional governor has had his ups and downs, but it's hard to see a downside as the final votes are counted in this election. A thumping of Republican Neel Kashkari, a resounding victory for the two ballot measures -- Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 -- that he urged voters to approve, and at least a gentle breeze of a good economy at his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I take the opportunity and the responsibility very seriously,\" Brown told reporters in his brief Q&A Tuesday night in Sacramento. This, after a very low-key private dinner (takeout, natch) inside the historic governor's mansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tax reform? More changes to public employee pensions? Expanded improvements to the state's infrastructure? Or just more of what he's already done on water, public safety realignment and education changes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Second Straight Shutout\u003c/strong>: If this were \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> the answer would be, \"Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve Poizner.\" The question, of course: Who were the last two Republicans elected statewide in California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unofficial election returns suggest 2006 will remain the last time a Republican won statewide office. Tuesday night's buzz of possible wins in the races for state controller and secretary of state faded by the stroke of midnight -- races where Republicans seemed to have a real shot at some statewide visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a numerical disadvantage,\" state GOP Vice Chair Harmeet Dhillon said on KQED Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True, but Republican leaders -- and big donors -- focused more of their energies in the fall election on legislative and congressional races, seeing those contests as the best way to refocus a party that's widely seen as having lost its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>First Loss For Indian Gaming\u003c/strong>: The defeat of Proposition 48 -- a shellacking, in non-technical terms -- was the first time California voters have rejected a ballot measure in support of either new tribal gaming or expanded tribal gaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 48, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/09/proposition-48-north-fork-rancheria-casino-madera-county\" target=\"_blank\">a referendum on the state's approval of a Madera County casino project\u003c/a>, was portrayed as a potential precedent for other tribes seeking new land for gaming. In elections in 1998, 2000 and 2008, voters backed Indian casino propositions. Not this time, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 48 even appeared to have lost in Madera County, where the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians had believed it had strong local support for its casino project. And then, an issue left somewhat unanswered: Can federal officials -- who have already signed off on the tribal gaming plan -- simply ignore Tuesday's vote and allow the project to move forward?

But the Democrat celebrated that historic achievement Tuesday night with a low-key private dinner at the governor’s mansion in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No party. No cheering crowd. No balloons. Just Brown, accompanied by his wife Anne, addressing about a dozen reporters in front of the historic building’s front steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the next four years, to the extent that I have the ability, the physical and the intellectual stamina and capacity, I’m going to do my upmost to live up to the promise of California,” Brown said in during his brief press conference.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>“I don’t have any illusions about how easy it will be.

And there’s a reason: Even though the bailout plan worked, it was messy, complicated and deeply unpopular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/173159774\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not that Kashkari completely ignores TARP. He briefly mentions it during his stump speech and has a stock answer prepared when voters and reporters ask about the program. By and large, Kashkari paints the $450 billion program as a bipartisan success.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Hard choices are easy to make when you really don’t have a choice ... when the consequences of inaction are so grave we have to step in.'\u003ccite>Neel Kashkari, U.S. Treasury Department, 2008\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Everyone told us, 'Washington, D.C., is so complicated. You can’t get Republicans and Democrats to work together. You can’t navigate the House and the Senate.' ” Kashkari said during his September debate with Gov. Jerry Brown. “We figured it out. We got them to work together. We got the leaders of both parties to put their country before their political careers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not the way Kashkari characterized it six years ago, at the depths of the economic crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hard choices are easy to make when you really don’t have a choice,” he told a group in the fall of 2008, his voice sounding strained and stressed. “When the consequences of inaction are so grave we have to step in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Your ATM Wouldn't Work'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s back up a bit. The economy imploded in 2008 for a long list of complicated reasons. The short summary is that too many banks bought up too many bad mortgages, and the global credit market basically dried up. (Need a refresher? \"This American Life’s\" 2008 \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/355/the-giant-pool-of-money\" target=\"_blank\">episode on the subprime lending crisis\u003c/a> remains one of the best explanations out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Kashkari likes to put it on the campaign trail, the economy was on the verge of a situation where “literally, your ATM wouldn’t work. You type in your code, no money comes out. You get your paycheck, you can’t cash it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because Kashkari had decided to leave a comfortable job at Goldman Sachs when the bank’s CEO, Hank Paulson, became President George W. Bush’s Treasury secretary, this was suddenly Kashkari’s problem. He was all of 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Yeah, let’s bail them out, but don’t give them bonuses on top of all the money the taxpayers have to pay. The people who caused the problem, they got rewarded.'\u003ccite>Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Kashkari was just one staffer in the U.S. Treasury Department, of course, but he played a major role in shaping, and eventually implementing, the federal government’s response to the crisis. A big enough role that he was portrayed in the HBO movie, \"Too Big To Fail.\" (Like the real-life Kashkari, the movie character has a massive Newfoundland dog.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie was based on Andrew Ross Sorkin’s book of the same name, which has become the definitive account of the 2008 crisis. According to Sorkin, Kashkari not only came up with the idea that became TARP, he came up with the initial $700 billion price tag, too. The total had more to do with politics than economics. The deliberations, as recounted by Sorkin:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"What about $1 trillion?\" Kashkari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ll get killed,” Paulson said grimly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"Okay,\" Kashkari said. \"How about $700 billion?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The initial plan: The Treasury would buy up these so-called toxic assets of subprime mortgages that had paralyzed all the banks. Kashari eventually justified the $700 billion as about 5 percent of the nation’s total residential and commercial mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shifting Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But shortly after Congress approved the plan, the Treasury Department shifted gears in a major way. Instead of buying up “toxic” mortgages, the government would now basically give the money directly to the nation’s largest banks. The first round of purchases distributed $125 billion to banks like JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. By this point, Kashkari had been tapped as the head of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress, to put it mildly, freaked out. San Diego Republican Darrell Issa may be endorsing Kashkari this year, but at the time he ripped into Kashkari:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" scrollable=\"no\" src=\"http://www.c-span.org/video/standalone/?c4511989\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to know whether Congress was lied to,” Issa demanded of a somewhat flustered Kashkari during a memorable hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari and the rest of the Treasury Department argued that the direct stock purchases were the better way to unfreeze the markets quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TARP eventually doled out $250 billion to banks and $450 billion overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That included more than $60 billion for insurance giant AIG, which would become the most controversial aspect of Kashkari’s tenure. That’s because months after receiving federal assistance, AIG distributed more than $1 billion in bonuses and other payments to its employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'A Failure of Oversight by Treasury'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s campaign strategy has been to ignore Kashkari’s existence. The main critique Brown lobbed at the Republican during their sole debate, however, focused on the AIG bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, let’s bail them out,” Brown said. “But don’t give them bonuses on top of all the money the taxpayers have to pay. The people who caused the problem, they got rewarded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AIG had to be bailed out, Treasury Department officials argued at the time, because the company had been left essentially holding the bag on a large chunk of the insurance policies that banks had purchased to protect themselves against foreclosures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This action was necessary to maintain stability of our financial system,” Kashkari said the day the department purchased its initial round of preferred stock. “In return, AIG must comply with stringent limitations on executive compensation for its top executives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the department didn’t realize was that it wasn’t just executives -- AIG had a massive, companywide bonus program in place. In March 2009, it handed out more than $1.7 billion in bonuses, retention payments and deferred compensation. The move generated a political firestorm, and was one of the first (of many) PR nightmares to confront the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special inspector general overseeing TARP, Neil Barofsky, told Congress that Kashkari’s team dropped the ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Treasury didn’t know about [the bonuses] until two weeks beforehand,” he testified after \u003ca href=\"http://www.sigtarp.gov/Audit%20Reports/Extent_of_Federal_Agencies'_Oversight_of_AIG_Compensation_Varied_and_Important_Challenges_Remain_10_14_09.pdf\">releasing an audit focused on the AIG bonuses\u003c/a>. “And they didn’t know the scope of those payments. That they were going to apply not just to essential personnel, but also to nonessential. People who worked in the mail room, in the kitchen, the file room. Our audit concludes this was a failure. A failure of oversight by Treasury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the luxury of 20/20 hindsight,” Kashkari responded during a recent appearance on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>. “We were trying to prevent the American, and the global, economy from collapsing.” Still, he didn’t dispute the critique. “With all the luxury of six years to contemplate this, sure, we’d do lots of little things differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Thankless Task\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Kashkari says TARP got every dollar back, and turned billions in profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s actually a contested point. While repayments, interest and dividends have generated billions more in revenue than what the government paid out, TARP’s special inspector general \u003ca href=\"http://www.sigtarp.gov/Quarterly%20Reports/July_30_2014_Report_to_Congress.pdf\">argues the government is still owed about $40 billion in principal\u003c/a>. Kashkari disputes that figure, pointing to \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/reports/Pages/TARP-Tracker.aspx\">the Treasury Department’s official accounting\u003c/a>, which backs his claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to the larger point, UC Berkeley Law Professor Steven Davidoff Solomon says the answer is pretty clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TARP was undoubtedly a success,” said Solomon, who has written several papers on the government’s response to the financial meltdown. “The fact that we’re standing here and the banks are up, and the economy is growing -- maybe not as fast as we want [it] to -- clearly shows that TARP was a success. It stopped the financial crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was seen as rewarding the banks that helped create the crisis to begin with. That doesn’t play well in politics, which may explain why candidate Kashkari doesn’t talk about TARP a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, it may have kept the country out of a depression. But elections aren’t won based on things that never happened.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The economy imploded in 2008 for a long list of complicated reasons. The short summary is that too many banks bought up too many bad mortgages, and the global credit market basically dried up. (Need a refresher? \"This American Life’s\" 2008 \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/355/the-giant-pool-of-money\" target=\"_blank\">episode on the subprime lending crisis\u003c/a> remains one of the best explanations out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Kashkari likes to put it on the campaign trail, the economy was on the verge of a situation where “literally, your ATM wouldn’t work. You type in your code, no money comes out. You get your paycheck, you can’t cash it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because Kashkari had decided to leave a comfortable job at Goldman Sachs when the bank’s CEO, Hank Paulson, became President George W. Bush’s Treasury secretary, this was suddenly Kashkari’s problem. He was all of 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Yeah, let’s bail them out, but don’t give them bonuses on top of all the money the taxpayers have to pay. The people who caused the problem, they got rewarded.'\u003ccite>Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Kashkari was just one staffer in the U.S. Treasury Department, of course, but he played a major role in shaping, and eventually implementing, the federal government’s response to the crisis. A big enough role that he was portrayed in the HBO movie, \"Too Big To Fail.\" (Like the real-life Kashkari, the movie character has a massive Newfoundland dog.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie was based on Andrew Ross Sorkin’s book of the same name, which has become the definitive account of the 2008 crisis. According to Sorkin, Kashkari not only came up with the idea that became TARP, he came up with the initial $700 billion price tag, too. The total had more to do with politics than economics. The deliberations, as recounted by Sorkin:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"What about $1 trillion?\" Kashkari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ll get killed,” Paulson said grimly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"Okay,\" Kashkari said. \"How about $700 billion?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The initial plan: The Treasury would buy up these so-called toxic assets of subprime mortgages that had paralyzed all the banks. Kashari eventually justified the $700 billion as about 5 percent of the nation’s total residential and commercial mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shifting Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But shortly after Congress approved the plan, the Treasury Department shifted gears in a major way. Instead of buying up “toxic” mortgages, the government would now basically give the money directly to the nation’s largest banks. The first round of purchases distributed $125 billion to banks like JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. By this point, Kashkari had been tapped as the head of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress, to put it mildly, freaked out. San Diego Republican Darrell Issa may be endorsing Kashkari this year, but at the time he ripped into Kashkari:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" scrollable=\"no\" src=\"http://www.c-span.org/video/standalone/?c4511989\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to know whether Congress was lied to,” Issa demanded of a somewhat flustered Kashkari during a memorable hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari and the rest of the Treasury Department argued that the direct stock purchases were the better way to unfreeze the markets quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TARP eventually doled out $250 billion to banks and $450 billion overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That included more than $60 billion for insurance giant AIG, which would become the most controversial aspect of Kashkari’s tenure. That’s because months after receiving federal assistance, AIG distributed more than $1 billion in bonuses and other payments to its employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'A Failure of Oversight by Treasury'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s campaign strategy has been to ignore Kashkari’s existence. The main critique Brown lobbed at the Republican during their sole debate, however, focused on the AIG bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, let’s bail them out,” Brown said. “But don’t give them bonuses on top of all the money the taxpayers have to pay. The people who caused the problem, they got rewarded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AIG had to be bailed out, Treasury Department officials argued at the time, because the company had been left essentially holding the bag on a large chunk of the insurance policies that banks had purchased to protect themselves against foreclosures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This action was necessary to maintain stability of our financial system,” Kashkari said the day the department purchased its initial round of preferred stock. “In return, AIG must comply with stringent limitations on executive compensation for its top executives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the department didn’t realize was that it wasn’t just executives -- AIG had a massive, companywide bonus program in place. In March 2009, it handed out more than $1.7 billion in bonuses, retention payments and deferred compensation. The move generated a political firestorm, and was one of the first (of many) PR nightmares to confront the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special inspector general overseeing TARP, Neil Barofsky, told Congress that Kashkari’s team dropped the ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Treasury didn’t know about [the bonuses] until two weeks beforehand,” he testified after \u003ca href=\"http://www.sigtarp.gov/Audit%20Reports/Extent_of_Federal_Agencies'_Oversight_of_AIG_Compensation_Varied_and_Important_Challenges_Remain_10_14_09.pdf\">releasing an audit focused on the AIG bonuses\u003c/a>. “And they didn’t know the scope of those payments. That they were going to apply not just to essential personnel, but also to nonessential. People who worked in the mail room, in the kitchen, the file room. Our audit concludes this was a failure. A failure of oversight by Treasury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the luxury of 20/20 hindsight,” Kashkari responded during a recent appearance on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>. “We were trying to prevent the American, and the global, economy from collapsing.” Still, he didn’t dispute the critique. “With all the luxury of six years to contemplate this, sure, we’d do lots of little things differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Thankless Task\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Kashkari says TARP got every dollar back, and turned billions in profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s actually a contested point. While repayments, interest and dividends have generated billions more in revenue than what the government paid out, TARP’s special inspector general \u003ca href=\"http://www.sigtarp.gov/Quarterly%20Reports/July_30_2014_Report_to_Congress.pdf\">argues the government is still owed about $40 billion in principal\u003c/a>. Kashkari disputes that figure, pointing to \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/reports/Pages/TARP-Tracker.aspx\">the Treasury Department’s official accounting\u003c/a>, which backs his claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to the larger point, UC Berkeley Law Professor Steven Davidoff Solomon says the answer is pretty clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TARP was undoubtedly a success,” said Solomon, who has written several papers on the government’s response to the financial meltdown. “The fact that we’re standing here and the banks are up, and the economy is growing -- maybe not as fast as we want [it] to -- clearly shows that TARP was a success. It stopped the financial crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was seen as rewarding the banks that helped create the crisis to begin with. That doesn’t play well in politics, which may explain why candidate Kashkari doesn’t talk about TARP a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled California’s rules for teacher tenure and dismissal deprive students of their constitutional right to a quality education by keeping inferior teachers in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown appealed in August but has said little publicly on the question. His lawyers argued that “changes of this magnitude, as a matter of law and policy, require appellate review.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari’s claim that Brown “betrayed our kids to protect his donors” is based on heavy interest in the Vergara decision by the California Teachers Association, one of Brown’s biggest contributors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the motive ascribed to Brown’s appeal – that he did so “to protect his donors” – is unproven.

Brown signed legislation requiring school districts to collectively bargain with teachers. But the Bee also notes that the CTA has not run the table during Brown's various tenures in office, most notably in Brown's advocacy of charter schools as mayor of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The view from the left, as you may imagine, has been less clinical. \u003ca href=\"http://wonkette.com/563329/jerry-brown-will-drown-all-your-children\" target=\"_blank\">Wonkette\u003c/a> joined many other observers in calling Kashkari's ad a \"Hail Mary\" and in a critique that's \u003cem>definitely not\u003c/em> sarcastic, had this to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This ad is so very nuanced that we’re not entirely sure what the message is, but we think Kashkari is subtly suggesting JERRY BROWN IS DROWNING YOUR CHILDREN AND ONLY NEEL WILL RESCUE THEM BEFORE THEY DIE!!!!!!!!

And there was never much of a chance that anyone could beat Brown this year. He’s been a relatively popular governor, as political popularity goes in these days of polarization and hatred, in a state that tends to chew up and spit out whichever fool assumes control.

Jerry Brown, left, shakes hands with Republican challenger Neel Kashkari before a gubernatorial debate in Sacramento, Calif., Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, Pool)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perhaps it's a stretch, but let's try it anyway: Republican gubernatorial challenger Neel Kashkari appears to be facing his very own California political version of the infamous Kobayashi Maru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not familiar with that term? Well, just ask any devoted fan of \"Star Trek\" and you'll find that the Kobayashi Maru is \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru\" target=\"_blank\">the no-win training scenario faced by cadets at Starfleet Academy\u003c/a>. No matter which choice a cadet made in the simulation of a starship crisis, it seemed to end in failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest statewide public poll in the race for governor suggests that Kashkari, the newcomer who's been blasting Gov. Jerry Brown and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2014/09/22/6724613/video-neel-kashkari-calls-candidacy.html\" target=\"_blank\">promising a transformation of the Republican Party\u003c/a>, may be running out of options -- not so unlike the Starfleet cadets who learn the hard way that, sometimes, there's nothing to do but retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication.asp?i=1115\" target=\"_blank\">Tuesday night's Public Policy Institute of California poll\u003c/a> finds Brown with a 21-point lead over Kashkari, 54 percent to 33 percent. That's a similar, though slightly larger, gap between the two candidates than what the PPIC found in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there's a way to beat this scenario, then cadet -- candidate -- Kashkari is running out of time to find it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reading the tea leaves is always a dangerous practice in a poll, which simply catches voters at a moment in time. This poll sampled opinions of Californians in the roughly 10-day period after what was likely \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/04/-brown-kashkari-clash-in-debate/\" target=\"_blank\">the only gubernatorial debate between the two men\u003c/a>. If there was going to be a bump in support for Kashkari, who most pundits think did well in that hourlong conversation, it would seem that it should show up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC finds strong to overwhelming support for the veteran Democrat among just about every subgroup of voters -- from an 11-point edge over Kashkari with men to a 55-point dominance over the GOP candidate with Latinos. Even in the solidly Republican Inland Empire, Brown holds a 4-point plurality lead over Kashkari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican is also failing to win over self-described moderates, 60 percent of which in this poll say they're voting for Brown. And even as Kashkari has preached that the governor is failing on the issue of poverty, 64 percent of poll respondents who earn less than $40,000 a year are backing Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And rubbing maybe a little more salt in the wound: Jerry Brown, the scion of a Democratic family, is the choice for governor of almost one in five Republicans and 26 percent of self-described conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's been no secret that Kashkari faced very long odds from the start, and it's been a tough slog for the young, articulate former assistant U.S. Treasury secretary. Brown was sitting on \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1333789&session=2013\" target=\"_blank\">$22.3 million in his campaign war chest as of late June\u003c/a>, and has since raised about another $1.2 million; Kashkari has raised about $990,000 in the last three months and began the period with only \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Candidates/Detail.aspx?id=1362979\" target=\"_blank\">$198,000 in the bank\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Fifty-five percent of likely voters think Brown is doing a good job as governor, including about three in 10 likely Republican voters.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>You can't win a statewide race in California with that kind of money, especially when the new poll shows 55 percent of likely voters think Brown is doing a good job as governor, including about three in 10 likely Republican voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new poll numbers suggest Brown could be on the verge of cruising to victory on Election Day, absent some very unexpected development. Almost exactly eight years ago, then-incumbent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was ahead of an outmatched Democratic challenger Phil Angelides \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/pressrelease.asp?p=644\" target=\"_blank\">by 17 points in a PPIC poll\u003c/a> -- the same margin by which Schwarzenegger won that fall.

This poll sampled opinions of Californians in the roughly 10-day period after what was likely \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/04/-brown-kashkari-clash-in-debate/\" target=\"_blank\">the only gubernatorial debate between the two men\u003c/a>. If there was going to be a bump in support for Kashkari, who most pundits think did well in that hourlong conversation, it would seem that it should show up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC finds strong to overwhelming support for the veteran Democrat among just about every subgroup of voters -- from an 11-point edge over Kashkari with men to a 55-point dominance over the GOP candidate with Latinos. Even in the solidly Republican Inland Empire, Brown holds a 4-point plurality lead over Kashkari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican is also failing to win over self-described moderates, 60 percent of which in this poll say they're voting for Brown. And even as Kashkari has preached that the governor is failing on the issue of poverty, 64 percent of poll respondents who earn less than $40,000 a year are backing Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And rubbing maybe a little more salt in the wound: Jerry Brown, the scion of a Democratic family, is the choice for governor of almost one in five Republicans and 26 percent of self-described conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's been no secret that Kashkari faced very long odds from the start, and it's been a tough slog for the young, articulate former assistant U.S. Treasury secretary. Brown was sitting on \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1333789&session=2013\" target=\"_blank\">$22.3 million in his campaign war chest as of late June\u003c/a>, and has since raised about another $1.2 million; Kashkari has raised about $990,000 in the last three months and began the period with only \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Candidates/Detail.aspx?id=1362979\" target=\"_blank\">$198,000 in the bank\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Fifty-five percent of likely voters think Brown is doing a good job as governor, including about three in 10 likely Republican voters.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>You can't win a statewide race in California with that kind of money, especially when the new poll shows 55 percent of likely voters think Brown is doing a good job as governor, including about three in 10 likely Republican voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new poll numbers suggest Brown could be on the verge of cruising to victory on Election Day, absent some very unexpected development. Almost exactly eight years ago, then-incumbent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was ahead of an outmatched Democratic challenger Phil Angelides \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/pressrelease.asp?p=644\" target=\"_blank\">by 17 points in a PPIC poll\u003c/a> -- the same margin by which Schwarzenegger won that fall. Also worth noting: No sitting governor on California has lost a race for re-election since … well ... Jerry Brown's father, the late Gov. Pat Brown, lost to Ronald Reagan in 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neel Kashkari has faced another big challenge: unifying the uber-marginalized GOP behind his candidacy, most recently at last weekend's state Republican convention in Los Angeles.

Jerry Brown and GOP challenger Neel Kashkari clash in a Sept. 4 gubernatorial debate. (Photo: Rich Pedroncelli, AP/Pool)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Jerry Brown walked into the studios of The California Channel Thursday night, ten minutes before the cameras went live, he so completely ignored Neel Kashkari that the challenger awkwardly decided to get up, walk over, and gently introduce himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the debate was over, as everyone saw, the GOP contender clearly had Brown's attention. Still, don't be surprised if that doesn't last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate, a full two months to the day before voters go to the polls, was Kashkari's best shot at convincing Californians that he's a legitimate contender. It may also be the only time an audience has a chance to measure the two men side by side. Brown made it clear to all media organizations offering to host a debate that he would only do so in this first week of September -- aides said he has a busy schedule of signing or vetoing bills sent to him by the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps, but it's also smart politics for an incumbent like Brown -- 16 points ahead in the newest statewide poll and with perhaps 20 times more campaign cash on hand -- not to give his challenger's campaign any more oxygen to fuel an electoral fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can play [this debate] over and over again at your house,\" said the governor dismissively when I asked him in my role as moderator of Thursday night's clash whether he'd consent to another event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So ... that's a no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the most notable narrative, at least from my vantage point as moderator, was how each man's experience had led them to such vastly different viewpoints about how to govern. For Brown, this is probably the last campaign of an unprecedented life in the public eye, and an effort to continue what he started in his third term as governor in 2011 -- a slow but steady untangling of some of California's most long-running problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anything in government takes time,\" Brown said during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrast that with Neel Kashkari, a man who's singular government achievement may have succeeded precisely because \u003cem>there was no time\u003c/em>. That's the creation and execution of the 2008 \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubled_Asset_Relief_Program\" target=\"_blank\">Troubled Assets Relief Program\u003c/a> (or TARP), the federal bank bailout that Kashkari's boss at the time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, \u003ca href=\"http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/the-inside-job/2008/09/26/hank-paulson-kneeling-before-pelosi\" target=\"_blank\">begged congressional leaders to accept if they wanted to keep the nation's financial system from collapsing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari seems to have taken from that experience a particularly strong belief in his power to effect big change. He certainly demonstrated that in Thursday's debate over Brown's record in tackling California's biggest fiscal and economic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said, \"We are making incremental progress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To which Kashkari fired back: \"The time for incrementalism has long since passed, Governor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be, but Kashkari would be wise to look at what's happened to previous California governors who have sought big change and demanded state lawmakers follow along. After all, many believe the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Davis-Says-He-Calls-All-The-Shots-Legislature-s-2919596.php\" target=\"_blank\">cocksure attitude by former Gov. Gray Davis that the Legislature was there \"to implement my vision,\"\u003c/a> ended with intraparty fighting, gridlock ... and Davis' recall from office. His successor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, didn't fare much better at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, on the other hand, seems to have fully matured into a behind-the-scenes negotiator, a governor who helps shape dozens of bills before they ever reach his desk and who concedes some issues to win others. Of course, that's not so easy to explain (or defend) in a political campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjuxVjPbMk#t=3198\" target=\"_blank\">a partnership of KQED, The California Channel, The Los Angeles Times, and Telemundo52\u003c/a>) offered Neel Kashkari the first real chance to introduce himself to the public; after all, \u003ca href=\"http://field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2481.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a new Field Poll\u003c/a> shows 41% of likely voters still have no opinion of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican newcomer took great pains in the live TV and radio debate to portray himself as \"an aerospace engineer\" (his first job before a pivot to investment banking) and \"the son of immigrants\" (his parents were born in India). The incumbent governor, of course, came prepared to talk about Kashkari's well-paid work on Wall Street prior to his challenger's efforts on the federal bank bailout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like the arsonist putting out the fire,\" said Brown of Kashkari's jobs before and after the 2008 recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, neither candidate fully explained beliefs or actions on some thorny issues. Brown launched into the crisis of climate change when asked how to explain \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2014/08/07/cap-and-trade-faces-first-major-political-test/\" target=\"_blank\">an expected rise in gas prices in 2015 from California's climate regulations\u003c/a> (and he boasted of finding a listing for $1.50 gas in California online).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari, meantime, promised to inspire some kind of national action on immigration reform and warned of \"open borders,\" rather than answering a question about the 58 percent of Californians in a new poll who support \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_26382526/gov-jerry-brown-top-lawmakers-back-legal-aid\" target=\"_blank\">state funding for legal assistance to the recent wave of unaccompanied and undocumented children\u003c/a>. Kashkari is opposed to that plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing's for sure: If Neel Kashkari wants to remain viable or even relevant over the next eight weeks, he's got to find a way to not let Jerry Brown go back to the quiet work of governing. And should he provoke a fight, he will have to find a way to deflect the powerful TV ads that Brown's $22 million war chest could easily finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari definitely landed some punches on Thursday; winning a heavyweight championship bout, though, takes a lot more than one good round.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown and GOP challenger Neel Kashkari clash in a Sept. 4 gubernatorial debate. (Photo: Rich Pedroncelli, AP/Pool)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Jerry Brown walked into the studios of The California Channel Thursday night, ten minutes before the cameras went live, he so completely ignored Neel Kashkari that the challenger awkwardly decided to get up, walk over, and gently introduce himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the debate was over, as everyone saw, the GOP contender clearly had Brown's attention. Still, don't be surprised if that doesn't last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate, a full two months to the day before voters go to the polls, was Kashkari's best shot at convincing Californians that he's a legitimate contender. It may also be the only time an audience has a chance to measure the two men side by side. Brown made it clear to all media organizations offering to host a debate that he would only do so in this first week of September -- aides said he has a busy schedule of signing or vetoing bills sent to him by the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps, but it's also smart politics for an incumbent like Brown -- 16 points ahead in the newest statewide poll and with perhaps 20 times more campaign cash on hand -- not to give his challenger's campaign any more oxygen to fuel an electoral fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can play [this debate] over and over again at your house,\" said the governor dismissively when I asked him in my role as moderator of Thursday night's clash whether he'd consent to another event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For Brown, this is probably the last campaign of an unprecedented life in the public eye, and an effort to continue what he started in his third term as governor in 2011 -- a slow but steady untangling of some of California's most long-running problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anything in government takes time,\" Brown said during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrast that with Neel Kashkari, a man who's singular government achievement may have succeeded precisely because \u003cem>there was no time\u003c/em>. That's the creation and execution of the 2008 \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubled_Asset_Relief_Program\" target=\"_blank\">Troubled Assets Relief Program\u003c/a> (or TARP), the federal bank bailout that Kashkari's boss at the time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, \u003ca href=\"http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/the-inside-job/2008/09/26/hank-paulson-kneeling-before-pelosi\" target=\"_blank\">begged congressional leaders to accept if they wanted to keep the nation's financial system from collapsing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari seems to have taken from that experience a particularly strong belief in his power to effect big change. He certainly demonstrated that in Thursday's debate over Brown's record in tackling California's biggest fiscal and economic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said, \"We are making incremental progress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To which Kashkari fired back: \"The time for incrementalism has long since passed, Governor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be, but Kashkari would be wise to look at what's happened to previous California governors who have sought big change and demanded state lawmakers follow along. After all, many believe the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Davis-Says-He-Calls-All-The-Shots-Legislature-s-2919596.php\" target=\"_blank\">cocksure attitude by former Gov. Gray Davis that the Legislature was there \"to implement my vision,\"\u003c/a> ended with intraparty fighting, gridlock ... and Davis' recall from office. His successor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, didn't fare much better at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, on the other hand, seems to have fully matured into a behind-the-scenes negotiator, a governor who helps shape dozens of bills before they ever reach his desk and who concedes some issues to win others. Of course, that's not so easy to explain (or defend) in a political campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjuxVjPbMk#t=3198\" target=\"_blank\">a partnership of KQED, The California Channel, The Los Angeles Times, and Telemundo52\u003c/a>) offered Neel Kashkari the first real chance to introduce himself to the public; after all, \u003ca href=\"http://field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2481.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a new Field Poll\u003c/a> shows 41% of likely voters still have no opinion of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican newcomer took great pains in the live TV and radio debate to portray himself as \"an aerospace engineer\" (his first job before a pivot to investment banking) and \"the son of immigrants\" (his parents were born in India). The incumbent governor, of course, came prepared to talk about Kashkari's well-paid work on Wall Street prior to his challenger's efforts on the federal bank bailout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like the arsonist putting out the fire,\" said Brown of Kashkari's jobs before and after the 2008 recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, neither candidate fully explained beliefs or actions on some thorny issues. Brown launched into the crisis of climate change when asked how to explain \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2014/08/07/cap-and-trade-faces-first-major-political-test/\" target=\"_blank\">an expected rise in gas prices in 2015 from California's climate regulations\u003c/a> (and he boasted of finding a listing for $1.50 gas in California online).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari, meantime, promised to inspire some kind of national action on immigration reform and warned of \"open borders,\" rather than answering a question about the 58 percent of Californians in a new poll who support \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_26382526/gov-jerry-brown-top-lawmakers-back-legal-aid\" target=\"_blank\">state funding for legal assistance to the recent wave of unaccompanied and undocumented children\u003c/a>. Kashkari is opposed to that plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing's for sure: If Neel Kashkari wants to remain viable or even relevant over the next eight weeks, he's got to find a way to not let Jerry Brown go back to the quiet work of governing. And should he provoke a fight, he will have to find a way to deflect the powerful TV ads that Brown's $22 million war chest could easily finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari definitely landed some punches on Thursday; winning a heavyweight championship bout, though, takes a lot more than one good round.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, Pool)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The first -- and apparently only -- debate between Gov. Jerry Brown and Republican challenger Neel Kashkari was fast-paced and, at times, feisty. The candidates hit on the major issues facing California: water, immigration, the economy, education and income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But both candidates kept returning to the main themes of their campaigns. For Kashkari, a former U.S. Treasury Department official, it’s the idea that while California’s government might have stabilized during Brown’s tenure, the state’s economy is still suffering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is your family back?” He asked voters during his closing statement. “Are your kids in good schools today? Do you feel good about your job? Do you have the job that you want, the job that you deserve?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Brown, the message is stewardship. He argues the state has gone from deficit to surplus on his watch, and it’s continuing to turn the corner economically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state was in the shambles,” he said. “They were calling it a failed state. Well, it’s back. It’s not all the way back. And (Kashkari) likes to create the construct that if we’re not perfect, we’re not making progress. We are making incremental progress. I say 1.4 million jobs. And we’re recovering faster than the rest of the nation. We’re moving forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>'Gravy Train'\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more heated moments came when Kashkari criticized Brown for appealing a recent high-profile court ruling on teacher tenure laws, which a state judge ruled violates California students’ constitutional right to a good education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You had a choice between fighting for the civil rights of poor kids, and fighting for the union bosses who funded your campaigns,” Kashkari said to Brown. “You sided with the union bosses. You should be ashamed of yourself, Governor. I’m going to side with the kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘That makes no sense at all,” Brown responded. “That is so false.” The governor said broader problems like poverty play a bigger role than tenure laws in hindering educational opportunities, and said state law obligated him to appeal the lower-court ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was clear that as the debate progressed, Kashkari’s criticism got under Brown’s skin. In response, he repeatedly attacked Kashkari’s ties to Wall Street. Kashkari worked as a Goldman Sachs banker before moving to the U.S. Treasury Department, where he ran the controversial Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which helped prop up struggling banks during the economic crisis. Brown even looped that background into his answer to moderator John Myers’ question about high-speed rail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Kashkari calls it a crazy train,” Myers asked. “He says stop the crazy train. Governor, is it a crazy train?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Uh, no,” said Brown. “I think he’s more familiar with the gravy train in Washington that paid out $30 billion in bonuses, or at least sat silently by while it happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brown Will 'Probably' Sign Bag Ban\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown did make some news during the debate, saying he’ll “probably” sign a high-profile bill banning single-use plastic bags. He said the statewide policy, which lawmakers passed last Friday, makes more sense than the more than 100 local bans already in place. But that revelation gave Kashkari an opening -- the Republican argued Brown and state lawmakers are spending too much time focusing on smaller issues like the bag ban, or another bill allowing dogs in outdoor restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they’re not working on is rebuilding the middle class,” he said. “You know, Governor, you say oh, you’re making incremental changes. We’re 46\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> in education. We’re 44\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> in jobs. We’re No. 1 in poverty. The time for incremental is long since passed, Governor. We actually need bold reforms to rebuild the middle class. Plastic bags is not going to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown countered that Kashkari’s campaign platform is nothing more than a handful of slogans and vague promises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You said the answer to poverty is to create a job, and the only thing you want to do about creating jobs is get rid of unspecified regulations and reduce taxes,” said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will likely be the campaign’s only debate -- Brown says he doesn’t want to hold any more forums, and declined again when asked by Myers tonight. That’s an understandable campaign tactic for the incumbent, who holds a commanding lead over Kashkari -- 16 points, \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2481.pdf\">according to the latest Field Poll\u003c/a> -- and doesn’t want to give his little-known opponent any additional free publicity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s position has the Kashkari campaign frustrated, especially since this debate came a full two months before Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
